📰 Is NFC charging the secret to nicer-looking smartglasses? A pair of prototype Ray Ban Meta glasses at AWE 2026 show that NFC charging can achieve similar perf
NuCurrent has developed a prototype of Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses that utilize NFC charging, potentially enabling slimmer and more fashionable designs. This technology replaces the current pogo pin charging method, which contributes to the bulkiness of smartglasses. The prototype demonstrates comparable charging speeds to existing models, reaching a 50 percent charge in 20 minutes, and suggests a future where universal chargers could be developed for various wearables.
